Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Neural Tube Defects on its own pages , computed from the registry mirror as of 2026-08-08. Each line carries its own denominator so it can be quoted as it stands.

  1. Neural Tube Defects is recruiting above its size-band peers.

    4 of 6 indexed trials (66.7%) are open to enrollment, against a 46.5% average across 27,806 conditions with fewer than 20 trials. The peer set uses the same ClinicalTrials.gov-derived counts as this page.

  2. One sponsor concentrates Neural Tube Defects research.

    Michael A Belfort accounts for 1 of 6 trials (16.7%). 6 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Most Neural Tube Defects trials plan to enrol fewer than 100 people.

    Median target enrolment is 38 among the 6 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 4 of those (66.7%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Neural Tube Defects research is mostly interventional.
